Some random November photos:
my beautiful Pierre de Ronsard rose. I keep referring to it as "she" but I guess Pierre should be a "he". He/she/it is fully 4" across.
the November page of my cat calendar [ this is the one I actually scribble things on ]
the November page of my Australian Weather Calendar ... so big I can only hang it in the sewing room and I never write on it but the photos are awesome. Perhaps because we're heading into summer soon, the photos on Oz calendars seem just SO much brighter than the dreary stuff on offer in so many American ones.
portraits of the Big Tree [ this is going to be a 
quilt / series of quilts ] 
blathering on about knitting, quilting, spinning, crochet, my family, cats, goats, the dog, singing, clogging, and living in The Bush
very envious of your pierre - we had a pierre i canberra that did really well but our current one is sulking again after a brief rallying. this rallying was prompted by the threat of eviction and seems to have petered out again.
ReplyDeletethe tree should make a great quilt :)
Sorry about your friend but congrats on the new Ashford!
ReplyDeleteThat weather calendar looks BEAUTIFUL! So does your rose, too . . . gardening is NOT one of my skills.... Thanks for the calendars!
ReplyDeleteAs we here on the other side of the world wander into winter, I am so grateful for the chance to see some pre-summer goodness! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI think that the Tree Quilt will be stunning. I am always in awe of the folks who see the "patterns" in what my eye perceives as pretty, but "random" and unusable.
I'm sure one of these days you will actually make some of these bush inspired quilts that you keep taking photos for, and once you get going, they will be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteIs that 'the big tree' as in the official one that they re- routed the road and electricity poles around? or your one?
it's the one directly in front of the sewing room
